It&rsquo;s crazy: the home screen widget, the browser, everything&rsquo;s been programmed to use Yahoo.&rdquo;&nbsp; And from what I understand, there&#8217;s no easy way to change the default search engine in the BACKFLIP.<\/p>\n<p>Early rumors suggested that AT&amp;T would be completely ridding the BACKFLIP of all stock Google apps.&nbsp; However, this does not seem to be the case any longer.&nbsp; AT&amp;T has loaded the device with many of their own branded apps, such as: AllSport GPS, AT&amp;T Maps, AT&amp;T Music, AT&amp;T Navigator, AT&amp;T Wi-Fi, Hotspots, Mobile Banking, MobiTV, MusicID, Where, and YPmobile.&nbsp; They have, however, left many of the native Android apps for you to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s it going to be?
